Well This song is by Shiny Toy Guns and it is called "Sky fell over me" I thought it would be somewhat appropriate. Starts off like it's going to be a dancy song, but its not. The lyrics is what I wanted to really make apparent.
I really hate talking about bullying and the idea of people taking the time to seriously torture someone else is sickening. Of course we all get into arguments with people and insult them and such but I would never personally take the time to continually mock and make fun of someone for personal pleasure. I actually came across an article today (on facebook), that someone shared about a young teenager whom committed suicide because he was frequently bullied.

Before I would of said (and have said) that these kids are just weak and should realize how much more they are hurting others by hurting themselves. I've come to realize how hard it must be to have to endure such torture on a daily basis, for such a long time. I'm sure it was pretty horrible and I can imagine how they must have felt but I could never live it.
It's sick to know that kids and adults alike spend so much time doing this to people, and for something as small as their sexual orientation, or even something as simple as they aren't "popular" as they are. I actually found a video (that i'll post after this) about how this guy that vlogs on youtube, had someone drive by and call him a faggot, horrible word to call someone.
I found it kind of ironic because I too just recently had someone that drove by as I was crossing the street call me a "faggot" and when I heard it it made me wonder how I would of dealt with that if I was younger. Knowing myself, if I was younger and had someone just randomly call me that, I would have probably broken down, cried, felt insecure, etc. When I came back from thinking like that, I thought about how I really feel about that word now. It did strike a nerve with me for about 10-15 minutes. Then I slowly got over it. The only thing that really hit the nerve was that they only had the balls to call me such a name as they were driving by. I am definately not ashamed of who I am, and cannot say I have been truly bullied when I was younger. I had people joke around with me because of my sexuality, but it never really offended me, nor made me feel bullied.
If someone had something to say to me, they never did, or they did it behind my back and when I found out about it, I wouldn't confront them but they'd know I heard what they said, and never said anything to my face. I made it obvious I was waiting for them to call me a fag to my face but nothing. Their courage is only fueld by the ignorance they've embraced. When they are around their friends, they can do ANYTHING. A lone, they are NOTHING. Remember that, and everyday you'll get a bit stronger. I have, and even now when I think about that guy calling me a faggot, it doesn't phase me. I actually find him pathetic, and laugh at the fact that he has his own insecurities that he wanted to verbalize to me, but his insecurities are worse than the ones I could ever have / had.
here is the video with the guy's story about his little incident with the drive by insults.
